I want to build a 98sqm house with 2 bedrooms and 2 bahrooms. Yes we plan to build a wall around our 1,5 rai land. I would prefer a builder ask a price per sqm (labrd only). I will buy myself the materials.

Ok..will get the wife to speak with him and other builders.Exactly where near Chaiyaphum are you?

We are around 6 km north from downtown, so close to the town. Many thanks for your help

I spoke to the wife and she spoke to our builder and others.Sorry mate..no can do.1.They are all busy with jobs.2. The daily travelling distance..over 80k ×2 daily.3.Very soon they'll be busy re their farms.However, there is a large Robinsons store being built directly accross from the Chaiyaphum Ram Hospital..due to open this coming december. Why dont your wife and yourself go to the site and talk with some of the workforce..plenty builders there right now I would imagine.Regards.

as an ex aus registered builder, all over, bush shit houses to project manager of shopping centres i have recently completed very successfully my own 3 bed 2 bath, thai outside kitchen and inside one for me, with a huge open living area, 6 gararge house and spa on our farm 150ks out of udon thani i think i now know a bit about buiding in thailand, i am a appenticed carpenter, self trained electician, still learning and listening, self taught plumber, its mostly buried so its easy, first rate tiler, and a top of the range roofer, not to mention the easy stuff , plastering, welding, windows, concreting and cabinet making. well the biggest problem that we face here is the language, you must have some one to be able to translate what you want, thais have never been trained , and they hate to listen, especially to us dumb ferangs, so they just do not know what we are talking about and they can not see the finished product we want and how to acheive it, there is some good one of a trade,trades people , but they are hard to find because they would rather work for thais, or a big thai building company, also us ferangs want every thing done cheap here in thailand, its the way we are, we think we are some way superior, thais are like us if you want the best you pay, as you do in my country australia, so my advice if building in thailand, get some one who can comunicate with you, and the thais, and knows about building, sit down get a plan of what you want and expect , a budget, in building it will always not be enough,then go for it ,it can be very rewarding, but it can also be a disaster with no planing if you think you know it all in this country, regards bobs, ps dable in air con now too
